It will be featured on this site, to be sure.<BR/><BR/>Since Ripken, Jeter, A-Rod, etc. raised the power level for SS and Kent and Utley raised it for 2B, where does a light hitter go?

I was eager to post after a win, because I was 0-3 so far. I guess I still am.<BR/>A high OPS is a good thing, right?<BR/>PS- Your bobblehead is in JC's possession and will be yours by the end of the week.Brother Bobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04598578292252263393noreply@blogger.com
